Healthful Food
for the Children
The same healthful qualities that
exist in ripe grapfes, a natural, whole-
some food, are conveyed to cakes,
biscuits, muffins and pastry made with
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder.
Hence, Dr. Price’s insures food that is
always safe, and is the baking pow-
der which should be used in the
preparation of flour foods for the
children. Many of the cheaper bak-
ing powders are made from materials
derived from mineral sources which
have no food value.

he will get two wars on his hands,

Must The Woman
Always Suffer?
Why is. it that the woman who breaks the con-
ventions always has to pay? Why is it that,
no matter how strong and noble a character
she may afterward become, no matter how
hard she may try, she cannot live it down!
It is not fair; it is not just; but it is un-
questionably true. This is the theme of a
